You could call this the underside of the roof or you might say the ceiling, either way it’s pretty cool. Flushing Meadows Corona Park Natatorium. #ctaarchitects #cta #nyc #queens #coronapark #natatorium #onsiteinsight

We infilled this previously sunken lobby interior to increase the level of accessibility 👍🏼#accessibilityforall #ctaarchitects #ctaonsite #lobbies #interiors

These numbers, once installed on the exterior of the Bowne House, historically read “1661”, the year in which the first portion of the house was constructed. An early depiction of the house created circa 1860 shows these numbers installed on the west facade, just below the attic window. The earliest photographic evidence showing this numbering dates to 1905. During an exterior restoration project on the house, the numbers were removed and never replaced. CTA discovered the numbers in a box full of exterior hardware that has been stored on the property for years.

Happy Wednesday! #ctaarchitects #buildingdesignandconstructions #2018 #topfirms #hooray

This building is on the of property of St. Bartholomew's in Brooklyn. It used to be a dance hall where they would have mixers/dances for soldiers after they returned from WWII. Then it became a community hall/gym with a basketball court. The priest who was showing us around the site talked about how it used to be the heart of the community and how he hoped the renovations to the church would bring the community back. Unfortunately that building is too far gone (also not in our scope of work) and won’t be able to be restored. It was still cool to look down on a piece of history and think about what it might have been like. #brooklyn #ctaarchitects #ctaonsite #historicplaces #restoration #nyc #churchesofinstagram #community

Selma’s House is significant because of its location next to the former home of famed jazz musician, Louis Armstrong, and which is now a museum. Selma Heraldo was a close friend of the Armstrong’s, often even traveling with them when Louis went on tour around the United States. After the passing of both of the Armstrong’s and the transformation of their home into a house museum, Selma remained intimately involved in the association. In her will, she donated her house to the Louis Armstrong House Museum, with the intent to provide support space for the organization. Selma was born in this house and passed in this house as well.

We are adapting the interior of Selma’s House to better suit the needs of the growing organization and adding ADA accessibility into the house, throughout the first floor, and into the rear yard for garden parties. The existing kitchen will be reconfigured to accommodate the needs of a caterer, providing warming drawings and ample counter space for prepping food. #ctaarchitects #historicplaces #design #restoration #louisarmstrong #satchmo #jazz #nycjazz

“Positively Georgian light,” Dan Allen. At Union Street in Hudson, NY

In preparation for our proposal for the Phase III Restoration of Dr. Oliver Bronson House in Hudson, NY, Dan Allen went on a walkthrough and captured this unbelievable staircase. This extraordinary house was built in 1812 for Samuel Plumb, a wealthy Hudson merchant in the tow-boat business. The house was extensively redesigned for Dr. Oliver Bronson from 1799-1875 by architect Alexander Jackson Davis. The original Neo-Classical landscape design was clarified in 1839 when A.J. Davis eliminated outbuildings and fencing reworking the approach to the house and refitting the east facade to take advantage of the picturesque Catskill landscape. Historic Hudson’s commitment to The Dr. Oliver Bronson House and it’s extensive renovation began in 1997 and continues to generate support for this National Historic Landmark.

Whenever I look at this delicious picture of Bishop Kearney, my eye immediately goes to the pink cupcake. Is it because it’s pink? Because it’s a cupcake? Knowing me, it’s probably both! #ctaarchitects #universalprek #nycschools #publicschool
